The rules for bikes say I get to use one gun per rider.If I modal a bike with extra guys sitting on it,do I get to use more guns?

Yes. And at that point you are modelling for advantage and peop;le are likely to stop playing you.

Just a question.I was thinkibng of modalling a jetbike,with a driver,and a guy hanging off it with his chainsword ripping down below.I would count it as one rider,but just checking.

Depends on what codex.

SM can have attack bikes, which are a bike with two riders.
CSM CANNOT take them.
ORKS CANNOT TAKE THEM.


I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

... well no, i see another rider on the middle bike ...

trouble is that they've left off the number of riders for a long time ... and there really isn't any rule for or against it.

Just don't be TFG that tries to do this ...

go by what the rules and unit entry state. I can mount 27 orks on a Warbike if I try hard enough, but the rules still only allow for one (1) rider.

It's not a rider.

It's wargear. Probably his grot.

Could also be his lunch.

Ok prove that the other space marine on the attack bike is a passenger. Wait what's that? Yep they forgot to mention it.

There are many ork models with gretchin or squigs added to them for no particular reason, the kommandoz nob, for example. This is one of them. Also, the grot is not a passenger, he is not riding the bike.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Technically, you can indeed model bikes with multiple riders and thus fire multiple weapons. However this is generally considered modelling for advantage, with rare exceptions. I would probably not care if someone who had a MotF with Conversion Beamer on bike modeled it with an Attack Bike sidecar and then fired both the beamer and the twin-linked bolters, but I would care if someone put an extra Scout on the back of all his Scout Bikes to get a free shotgun attack.
